Which quotation best develops the central idea that the narrator believes that unexpected events are an important part of growing up? "My children are fresh to the adult world, and when I see their tears as plans go sideways, I like to imagine that someday they’ll sit where I am with people to love, hobbies to pursue, and maybe even a spare dollar in the bank." "I can’t imagine how far gone I must have seemed to her, but I’ll never forget what she said as I prodded the chocolate mass parading as cake on my tray." "The first step was supposed to have been attending my parents’ alma mater, graduating with honors, and then moving on to law school without pausing to let my peers—or competitors—catch me." "A lot of people hate hospitals—the lights, the sterile smell, the undercurrent of urgency, illness, and tragedy."
